--- Comment #6 from Kiran Mathew Koshy <[email protected]> --- Yes, a diff algorithm would make the code quite complex. However, I don't think the patch process would be slowed down if a diff algorithm is implemented, since the most time consuming portion involving file diff is the creation of the diff file. How about if we leave a provision for the diff algorithm ? i.e, for an updated article, either the entire new article can be stored in the diff_file, or the output of the diff algorithm can be stored. Once the rest of the code is implemented, the diff algorithm can be done, as an alternative to storing the entire article. Once completed, the final version of the program will compute the diff of the articles, and use the smaller of the two(diff and new article). A list of articles whose diff is given will be maintained in metadata. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
